Definitely room for improvement but has that old reddit feel, I like it!

MODERATORS
I think about it daily.
I'm liking it. The one thing I think is missing is it is sorta difficult to get critical mass for a community. It would be nice if we could have "meta" communities which just combine every instances community with the same name. It would likely be very problematic moderation wise but it would help get critical mass in a lot of places.
It's good enough to be part of my username.
I was told there would be baguettes, however I'm not sure what a baguette is so I don't know what I'm looking for and I think there may be a notable nudist commune or three around here.

I like it. I'm glad most of the chaff that cluttered up Reddit stayed on Reddit.
Nice though it has already gone off to political fringes to the point I avoid the comments for many news and political postings
Weirdly under-designed vis-a-vis moderation workflow. I've been messaged by my instance's admin twice, based on reports I thought were going to the mods of a community.
Oh, and the variety of ways that work-in-progress comments get deleted can fuck right off. Scroll too far down? Page secretly reloads, fuck your text. Vote on the wrong level of comment? Frame secretly reloads, fuck your text. The fact anything's getting swapped out like that is a tremendous hack that belongs back in the DHTML or AJAX era. Use the damn DOM.
Decent community, though. Albeit not aided by how many places ask for "civility" instead of correctness, honesty, and appropriate tone. If you want a forum where nobody's ever rude - I guaranfuckingtee you aren't doing enough to shut down trolls. 'Just ignore them' doesn't help and doesn't work. If we're not allowed to tell them off, when it is demonstrably the right response to their abusive nonsense, you need to step up and get rid of them, on our behalf. Pick one and commit.
It is great since there is not a lot of content , I've had a lot free time for me to learn new things.

It seems just somewhat useful for tech news and discussion. For everything else I still use Reddit.
